'My Prison, My Home – One Woman’s Story of Captivity in Iran,' by Haleh Esfandiari – Review – NYTimes.com

In 2007, Haleh Esfandiari, the Iranian-American director of the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Middle East Program, told Iranian intelligence everything she knew. She was interrogated for almost eight months, nearly four of them inside Tehran’s notorious Evin prison.

She translated reams of material from the center’s Web site into Farsi. But it was a dialogue of the deaf.
